hey, I got the slide-out cup holders too!
the casset deck in my radio is broken, and I blew the RR speaker last weekend
I've got an ash try too - I put coins in it though.
and reclining seats!

I've decided not strut bar nor sway bar for next upgrade. Eibach spring and Bilstein shocks will be next and probably install 'em in Jan 2001.

Dodo, I think you're the only one who's taking this thread seriously.

And as for my car:

Custom modified busted headlight motor (damn things won't go down)
Bent bumper courtesy of a Large Truck
Cracked dash
Monogrammed floormats with SOMEONE ELSE'S INITIALS!

Beat that.

Well, I guess there are not too many car enthusiasts in this forum, only Apex and me? Anyway. I should go back to Lexus' forums.

Yeah, i decided the wheel wells were creating too much drag for the SUV racing I was doing, so the first time I saw a La-Z-Boy lying out on the freeway around Carmel, I decided to side swipe it. Presto! Now I'm minus one stupid cD inflating wheel well molding. And man, does my baby fly now!

My fog lights make me go significantly faster, too.

Yeah, weirdest thing. Speaking of enthusiasts, we were asked if we wanted to sponsor Tommy Archer's Dodge Viper for the 2001 season (will be shown on CBS and Speedvision). Sounds kinda cool.

And some days, when I'm feeling particularly saucy, I'll hand install my laptop adaptation apparatus in order to play MP3's through my stereo. This setup is so modular, I can also configure it for my portable MD player! A true marvel of automobile sound engineering.

And BTW, Butch, I'm keeping your CD adapter kit. Since you don't have a car.

No sweat off my balls . . . enjoy it and use it in good health my son!

In my 87 sentra I have:

A penny in my fuse box cuz I didn't buy fuses (how it still works.. i dunno)
A love tap from a tow truck on the right side of my rear end which enabled me to have
My very own lake in the back seat during the rainy season.
and to top it all off, a red bike reflector on my rear right end taillamps so I can drive legal!
P.S. My own hair extension stuck in the gears of my e-brake from the previous owner.


Now.. in my 98 Integra GSR

Hiperlights
Tenzo Cold Air Intake with K&N Filter

Jackson supercharger
DC Headers
Greddy Thermal Exhaust
California Type-R conversion kit
Naked Supermodel laying all over my car (and hopefully in the back seat)
Full DVD Theatre setup in place of crappy stock stereo

I only care about performance, not appearance. Though 18" rims look awesome, for the same money, I could get shock/spring/sway bar/strut bar.

Cool, I was considering the Seneka's before getting my SSR Integral A2's. I think overall, the SSR's look better on my MR2, but if someone didn't R@#$Q@^$#%@#Q%$ steal my Eclipse, I would have gotten the Seneka's on it. I did like the weight of the SSR's though. That was a pretty important deciding factor for me.

Lemme see. I have so far:

Intake (oiled cloth K&N type, off of a current gen Supra TT)

Exhaust (3" custom mandrel from monolithic cat back. Um yeah, the MR2 turbo actually has two catalytic converters. Which goes back to two 2.5" pipes with Ultra flo's, two two 4.5" HKS type tips, which I hate)

ARC Racing level blowoff valve, which flows to about 600hp (my stock bypass valve busted, so sue me).

H&R Springs

KYB Shocks (I'm cheap, yes yes)

C's shift kit (3.5" throws, still way worse than the GSX)

SSR Integral A2 rims. 16x7 front, 16x8 rear. (unforunately, I do not have the 350+hp that it would require to make a 2800lb car require 17" rims. Performance first)

Blitz voice guide turbo timer (a girl gave it to me as a gift. I wouldn't spend so much $$$ on one myself)

Hella H4 headlamps (my stock one blew). Unfortunately, got ugly bulbs in there, need to change them to normal, bright, clear ones. *sigh*

I Love performance as well.. But when you find indiglo gauges for 20 bux, the indiglo emblem for 15.. and all the appearance accessories hella cheap, and brand new i might add (thank you FleaBay).. Can't pass it up.. I want the senekas though.. since my car is the blueish color and the senekas have the blue caps and I think they would just look awesome.. I'm kinda dedicated on getting them when I can scrounge up the 1400 bux for 'em.. Unless anyone knows anyone who would trade stock 98' GSR rims for some used ones.. =0) But i want to try and keep my car a sleeper.. I don't want to have all these speed crazy kids try to race me at every stoplight.. but i will put a got apex graphix kit on my car.. (Gotta support the site that saves me so much money!!).. =0)

I also like to pretend that I have a stock GS430. When a BMW 540 or Boxster pass me by, rev the engine and shot like a silver star. Man, love it.
